Elite Cage Fighting Championships 14 brought a night of action-packed fights to the town of Lenoir, North Carolina last night. Conflict fighters wore their game faces as they stepped into the cage to do battle.

Up first for Conflict on the card was the Light Heavyweight Title fight between Revolution MMA's Trey Moss and Mt. Airy Combat's Tommy McMillian, both Conflict sponsored fighters. Both fighters were ready for a scrap and began with fists flying. McMillian managed to take Moss down with a blow to the face, but Moss escaped his ground and pound and made it back to his feet. Late in the round, Moss cornered McMillian against the cage and threw solid punches to his head, finally ending the bout by referee stoppage, TKO first round. Conflict's Mari Melehes and founder Christian McDaniel were on hand to present Moss with the belt. Trey Moss is currently undefeated.

Next fighting for Conflict was Shon "The Wolverine" Winchester out of Greenville, SC's Alexander Karate. Winchester dominated the fight from the bell, throwing strike after strike against opponent Matt Easter. Easter attempted a clench several times to no avail. After landing multiple body strikes with Easter against the cage, Winchester was declared the winner by standing TKO.

The "Fight of the Night" definitely went to the featherweights...Jeremy Harris vs. Austin Hiatt. Harris had his work cut out for him against Hiatt, who defended Harris' submission attempts, escaped several times from Harris' side control. Ultimately, Harris had a slight advantage over Hiatt, and won the bout by decision. Harris will go on to fight JJ Brantley as he defends his Featherweight title.

Conflict is proud of ALL of our sponsored fighters, who put themselves in the line of fire for the love of the sport: Trey Moss, Tommy McMillian, Shon Winchester, Austin Hiatt, and Chase Morris.

Conflict fighters Cody Wilson (Revolution MMA) and Micah Lail (Guerilla Tactics) had a victorious night last night in Charlotte, North Carolina for the Fight Lab V cage fights. The event took place on the rooftop amphitheatre of the EpiCentre in the heart of downtown Charlotte. Fellow Conflict fighters Jimmy Fowler (who was there to corner Cody Wilson) and Sara McMann were on hand as well. And, of course, Conflict was there to cover all the action!

Cody Wilson, who weighed in at 170 pounds, showcased his jiu jitsu skills in his bout against his opponent. Several times Wilson was close to finishing submissions - namely a triangle choke and a leglock - but his opponent was determined and managed to make it to the end of the round. Finally in the third round, Wilson locked an anaconda choke, taking him to the ground for the tap. Cody walked out wearing the Conflict Original T-shirt in Black.

Conflict interviewed Wilson following his win, to hear about how he cinched that winning choke as well as his current MMA record and more!

//

Micah Lail, a veteran of Fight Lab Pro cage fights, fought a fast-paced match. The fighters worked their standup skills in the first round, circling one another and several times clenching against the cage. By the second round, Lail had worked out his game plan and when his opponent made a mistake and wound up on the ground, Micah took his opportunity and worked his ground and pound. The referee stopped the fight at that point, declaring Micah Lail the winner. Micah entered the cage in his Conflict Coat of Arms hoodie.

We caught up with Micah after his fight to talk about his strategy going into this match, what he has learned from his fights, and well wishes to all of his fans and supports of mixed martial arts!
